News - "Yankees" Remake Hooked On Steroids

Not so in the case of Todd Graff who in an interview with MTV News has waxed lyrically about the changes in store for his contemporary update of the classic Faust-inspired musical "Damn Yankees". The story follows a baseball fanatic (Jake Gyllenhaal) who suddenly becomes the world's greatest player after making a deal with the devil (Jim Carrey).
